Printed in Livorno (1810). The title page and first leaves are missing.
On the first leaf of the book, the signature of Rabbi Ya'akov Chaim Sofer author of 'Kaf Ha'Chaim' (Since his signature appears on this leaf, it is obvious that the title page of the book was missing already when the book was in his possession).
